I wanted to add a new type of post to this blog, as I'm sure everyone has one or two of these floating around in their noggins.
People get cravings. Some of them are random, and some of them are more common; like pickles and peanut butter. Well, maybe you have to be pregnant to like that...or be my dad...
Anywho...
Sometimes these cravings are generated by chance when you try something you've never had before.
For instance, I felt brave one morning while standing in line at a local bakery/breakfast joint down the street from where I used to work. I was trying to make my selection when I came across Nova Lox and Cream Cheese on a bagel at the bottom of the menu. I've always heard about it, but never tried it. I confessed to the girl taking my order that I had never had Lox before, so I'm not sure what typically accompanies the fish and cream cheese on the bagel. She told me that most people ask for the sandwich with sliced tomato, onions and capers. Still feeling brave, I told her to make me a Lox sandwich, just as she had described it.
Shortly afterwards, I left with my breakfast baggy.
I got to my office, opened my baggy and was hit in the face with a delicious combination of smells.
I proceeded to eat the bagel and I've been hooked ever since then.
Recently, I've been to Lox, Stock and Bagels, and Reuben's. Both in West Hartford, and both have their own style of Lox sandwich.
Now, remember my first post? What was the title? Keep that in mind.
Personally, I think the Lox itself at Reuben's was the best I've had yet. However, Lox, Stock and Bagels had the best overall sandwich.
Needless to say, I'm still in search of the best of both worlds.
